if paper, plastic or other

combustible materials are

placed inside the oven while

cooking.

— Remove wire twist-ties and

metal handles from paper

or plastic containers before

placing them in the oven.

— Do not use the oven for

storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products,

cooking utensils or food in

the oven when not in use.

— If materials inside the oven

should ignite, keep the oven

door closed, turn the oven off

and disconnect the power

cord, or shut off power at the

fuse or circuit breaker panel.

If the door is opened, the fire

may spread.

■ See door surface cleaning

instructions in the

cleaning of the microwave oven

section of this manual.

■ This appliance should be

serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Contact

nearest authorized service

facility for examination,

repair or adjustment.

■ As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when

used by children.

Arcing is the microwave term

for sparks in the oven. Arcing is

caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the

side of the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food

(upturned edges act like

antennas).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties,

poultry pins, or gold-rimmed

dishes, in the microwave.

■ Recycled paper towels

containing small metal pieces

being used in the microwave.

■ Do not pop popcorn in your

microwave oven unless in a

special microwave popcorn

accessory or unless you use

popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

■ Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed

containers—for example,

closed jars—will explode and

should not be heated in this

microwave oven. Such use of

the microwave oven could

result in injury.

■ Do not boil eggs in a

microwave oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and

will cause it to burst, possibly

resulting in injury.

■ Operating the microwave

with no food inside for more

than a minute or two may

cause damage to the oven

and could start a fire. It

increases the heat around the

magnetron and can shorten

the life of the oven.

■ Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, hot

dogs, sausages, tomatoes,

apples, chicken livers and

other giblets, and egg yolks

should be pierced to allow

steam to escape during

cooking.

ARCING

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

■

SUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other

liquids do not always bubble

when they reach the boiling

point. They can actually get

superheated and not bubble

at all.

Superheated liquid will bubble

up out of the cup when it is

moved or when something like

a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening

and causing injury, do not heat

any liquid for more than 2

minutes per cup. After heating,

let the cup stand in the

microwave for 30 seconds

before moving it or putting

anything into it.

■ Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even with the lid

off. Make sure all infant food

is thoroughly cooked. Stir

food to distribute the heat

evenly. Be careful to prevent

scalding when warming

formula. The container may

feel cooler than the formula

really is. Always test the

formula before feeding

the baby.

■ Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow-necked

bottles (especially

carbonated beverages). Even

if the container is opened,

pressure can build up. This

can cause the container to

burst, possibly resulting in

injury.

■ Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances,

liquids may start to boil

during or shortly after

removal from the microwave

oven. To prevent burns from

splashing liquid, we

recommend the following:

before removing the

container from the oven,

allow the container to stand

in the oven for 30 to 40

seconds after the oven has

shut off. Do not boil liquids

in narrow-necked containers

such as soft drink bottles,

wine flasks and especially

narrow-necked coffee cups.

Even if the container is

opened, excessive steam can

build up and cause it to burst

or overflow.

■ Hot foods and steam can

cause burns. Be careful when

opening any containers of

hot food, including popcorn

bags, cooking pouches and

boxes. To prevent possible

injury, direct steam away

from hands and face.

■ Do not overcook potatoes.

They could dehydrate and

catch fire, causing damage to

your oven.

■ When cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly and

always cook the meat to an

internal temperature of at

least 170°F. This assures that,

in the remote possibility that

trichina may be present in

the meat, it will be killed and

meat will be safe to eat.

Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable

for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes,

measuring cups, custard cups,

pottery or china dinnerware

which does not have metallic

trim or glaze with a metallic

sheen can be used. Some

cookware is labeled “suitable

for microwaving.”

■ If you are not sure if a dish is

microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the

dish you are testing and a

glass measuring cup filled

with 1 cup of water—set the

measuring cup either in or

next to the dish. Microwave

1 minute at high. If the dish

heats, it should not be used

for microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and

only the water in the cup

heats, then the dish is

microwave-safe.

■ If you use a meat

thermometer while cooking,

make sure it is safe for use

in microwave ovens.

■ Do not use recycled paper

products. Recycled paper

towels, napkins and waxed

paper can contain metal

flecks which may cause arcing

or ignite. Paper products

containing nylon or nylon

filaments should be avoided,

as they may also ignite.

■ Some styrofoam trays (like

those that meat is packaged

on) have a thin strip of metal

embedded in the bottom.

When microwaved, the metal

can burn the floor of the

oven or ignite a paper towel.

■ Do not use the microwave to

dry newspapers.

■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable

for use in microwave ovens.

Check the package for

proper use.

■ Paper towels, waxed paper

and plastic wrap can be used

to cover dishes in order to

retain moisture and prevent

spattering. Be sure to vent

plastic wrap so steam can

escape.

■ Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred

from the heated food. Pot

holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

■ “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or

vented as directed by

package. If they are not,

plastic could burst during or

immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury.

Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least

partially uncovered because

they form a tight seal. When

cooking with containers

tightly covered with plastic

wrap, remove covering

carefully and direct steam

away from hands and face.

■ Use foil only as directed in

this guide. TV dinners may

be microwaved in foil trays

less than 3/4

″high; remove

the top foil cover and return

the tray to the box. When

using foil in the microwave

oven, keep the foil at least

1 inch away from the sides

of the oven.

■ Plastic cookware—Plastic

cookware designed for

microwave cooking is very

useful, but should be used

carefully. Even microwave-

safe plastic may not be as

tolerant of overcooking

conditions as are glass or

ceramic materials and may

soften or char if subjected

to short periods of

overcooking. In longer

exposures to overcooking,

the food and cookware could

ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

Use microwave-safe

plastics only and use

them in strict compliance

with the cookware

manufacturer’s

recommendations.

Do not microwave empty

containers.

Do not permit children

to use plastic cookware

without complete

supervision.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short

circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an

escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt

exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal

responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)

prong from the power cord.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance.

If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service

technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See

WARNING—

EXTENSION CORDS

section.)

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet

to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit

breaker.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of

electric shock.

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected

infrequently.

Because of potential safety

hazards under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug.

However, if

you still elect to use an adapter,

where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may be

made to a properly grounded two-

prong wall receptacle by the use of a

UL listed adapter which is available

at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in

the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of

the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is

metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through

the house wiring.

You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold

the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this

happen,

DO NOT USE

the appliance until a proper ground has again

been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected

frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug

in these situations because frequent

disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter

and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You

should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-

prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before

using the appliance.

ADAPTER PLUGS

Ensure proper ground

and firm connection

before use.

TEMPORARY

METHOD

Align large

prongs/slots

(Adapter plugs not

permitted in Canada)

Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting

from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.

If an extension cord is used—

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at

least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it

must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;

The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by

children or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the

blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking

times may be longer, too.

About changing the power level.

The power level may be entered or changed

immediately after entering the feature time for

TIME COOK.

The power level may also be changed

during time countdown.

Press

TIME COOK.

Enter cooking time.

Press

POWER LEVEL.

Select desired power level 1–10.

Press

START.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave

cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can

be compared to the surface units on a range. Each

power level gives you microwave energy a certain

percent of the time.

Power level 7

is microwave energy

70% of the time.

Power level 3

is energy 30% of the

time. Most cooking will be done on

High (power level 10)

which gives you 100% power.

Power level 10

will cook

faster but food may need more frequent stirring,

rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more

evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food.

Some foods may have better flavor, texture or

appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use

a lower power level when cooking foods that have a

tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)

give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to

the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with

power level 3

—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did

not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before

the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

High 10:

Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7:

Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking

casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5:

Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and

less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3:

Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1:

Keeping food warm; softening butter.
